I would START with a factory service manual for the 350 transmission, and since the 350 came in so many vehicles, you have a ton of choices.

Next up would be Ron Session's book on the TH 350:

And then since this is your first transmission, consider a commercially-available "shift kit". I'm becoming very fond of the products from Gil Younger/TransGo.

For a TH350, I would find an older Motor manual or similar with flow diagrams. Then buy different shift kits and try to understand what mods they make and why. B&M transpack used to be the best over the counter for a 350. I've been running glides so long now and no longer work on cars for a living I don't remember all the mods I made way back when, plan on a HD sprag for sure.
